  1. Arrived safely - many thanks
  2. Thanks CoD is fine with me, no rush though
  3. I've seen the confirmation from Melketh but the question was raised because of the comment "We will most likely extend this mechanic to work on all servers" which I and several others in my alliance read as changing the deed process !
  4. Am I reading that right, that you will be replacing deeds with fenced areas? My partner and I have some deeds that are open, no fences apart from a paddock for example and having to fence it in (with a highway through the middle of it) would spoil the "view" of open grassland - when we can keep the damn trees and bushes under control - and rolling hills. So, if so... -1 for that "improvement" on the existing servers
  5. Personally, I like roads that have a bit of "character" and are not dead straight for miles, but then it's what the roads are like in the UK. It also helps me spot where I am on the community map when there's no deeds nearby ("let's see, I went west, then a dog leg north... ah I must be there")
  6. Just a heads' up that we have a diagonal "land bridge" (7 deep I think) near Glasfryn and I am forever finding animals that have been accidentially dropped standing on the edge of it - usually those that have been collected from Free Animals - Bring Ropes - so I just return them there. I take it that none of the other roads that your new highway intersects will be removed - personally I travel from the north and prefer "n/s" or "e/w" roads as they seem easier to navigate to me - that's not to say that I don't think your new road, that I rode along while I think you were finishing on Sunday(?) isn't a decent idea.
  7. Thank you Army - I don't mind them but last time my wife saw a spider (a tiny one) in the car I had to brake very quickly to stop her jumping out of it at 50mph, she is that arachnophobic. My phobia is snakes and I feel my skin crawl whenever I see an anaconda in the game, but that's a different subject
  8. Just a thought, the image for the January skin shows a player with a couple of spiders behind them.~ For someone that is severely arachnophobic this could be disturbing. My wife for example is like that (plays in phobia mode) and I've had to warn her about the splash screen already. Would it be possible to change the image I wonder?
  9. Great news - looking forward to it (and not far for Heddwyn & I to travel either 😁)
  10. PvP just isn’t something I enjoy and most, if not all, of the games I play are not combat type games. As my wife would say, I’m a lover not a fighter when it comes to games.
  11. Thank for your listening and taking concerns seriously - as a dev (although not of games) I know how difficult it can be to please everyone.
  12. I'm all for something that keeps trees and bushes from spreading - almost a full time job on one of my deeds Grass trimmed I'm not so worried about as I can use lawn when I have to
  13. It's more than justified when a game upgrades and it then costs the player more money to keep the visuals the same as before the update.
  14. Thank you Blueheart - I didn't think of a tile as being a "neutral entity"
  15. Where's the ability to change this back to the visually clearer blue?
  16. +1 - I've just talked to my wife about this. She logged in and almost cried when she saw the various nodes in the village courtyard and the paddocks so logged back out again - it makes the place look so untidy. I wasn't a fan of the rocks that randomly appeared on grass, but that was at least only random and few and far between, not on every third tile as it seems to be at the moment. It's especially annoying as Iv've just spent 3 days digging out a cave, reinforcing it, paving it and now there are piles of rubble on the paving - just soul destroying. Yes, we could spend an extra silver a month on each of our deeds (we already pay north of a gold a month) for a templer to avoid the visual clutter but we have had experience of templers glitching and attacking Hell Horses and other mobs on the deed, which is why we turned them off in the end) and with a breeding area, zoo and major roads going through the deed the last thing we want is to log on and find there's been a rogue templer ! Surely there's a better way to turn off the visuals - than using a templer? Edited to add - I've just seen my grassland / prarie that I've spent weeks clearing trees and bushes from - easy to see that the nightshades, for example, are resources in winter as many bushes seem to "hibernate" but in rest of the year I suspect that it's not going to be easy to spot which are bushes and which are resources.
  17. I noticed that this morning and was confused, thinking that maybe the sale hadn't started yet. A search in Google for Wurm Shop (which is how I find it every month when buying silver for upkeep) still points to the old shop so, yep needs some redirects set up if the shop is now in a folder rather than in it's own subdomain.
  18. Yep, you know me - Moteandbailey - if you could deliver that would be great. Based at Glasfryn ( Cad G17ish)
  19. I agree with the comment about public slayings being lag fests. I've been "unlucky" enough to have a slaying on the doorstep to one of my deeds and for the hours or so before and the actual slay I might have well logged off as I couldn't do anything. Remember the first public slay of a red dragon on Cadence? There were so many people there that the local chat counter couldn't keep up and nothing rezzed while moving, not even the roads and landscapes. Maybe if they enforced the main toons only (no alts) that might be reduce the lag somewhat.
  20. I was removing a marble slab floor and used a trowel (by mistake as I had just built the wrong floor and had the wrong tool activated). Having finished a damage action I examined the floor and got : [19:12:34] QL = 16.560123, dam=5.917831E-4. I appreciate the damage report (0.00005917831 damage if my maths is correct) and suppose it's not really a server bug but was asked by CA to report it
